The system was recognising the HBA BIOS - but couldn't see my disk
I opened the case and the interior was covered in dust (sucked in by the fans).
There was even the remains of a rubber band
So I hoovered it - tried not to touch the motherboard.
Then blew the dust I couldn't reach out of the case - tried not to spit on it.
I know I should never do either of the above things.
Everything is back to normal now.

Just after building my PC, I had it standing on a wooden board on the floor under the desk. Pretty soon the temps started going up and up and after a couple weeks I took the side off. I thought the pigmys had moved in and had carpets fitted. Got myself an old chrome music center stand from the car-boot and keep the PC on that now. Just clean out every few months now.

Quote from: axisofevil hoover
Generic term for vacuum cleaner
The dust is just doing what it's told to by the Dust Devil.

Yes I think Jeremy should change his display name to dustofevil as Dubya is now out of the White House.

According to Wikipedia, Google can also refer to:-
1) a fictional monster in The Google Book, a 1913 children's story
2) Barney Google, a comic strip created in 1919 and its protagonist

Xerox!! Can't agree with that - far too American, and thus cannot be deemed 'proper' English.
